A live recording of a concert by Philip Glass given on July 2, 1978 as part of the New Sounds San Jose concert series.  This program includes a number of pieces for organ, written in Glass’ trademark minimalist style, as well as a piece for orchestra and electronics by an unidentified composer.  Born in 1937, Philip Glass is one of the most influential American composers of the late 20th century.  He is the best known composer of repetitive or minimalist music, and has produced a number of very successful modern operas, often in collaboration with Robert Wilson, as well as the soundtracks for a number of movies. This is a rare recording of some of Glass’ early organ works performed by Glass himself.
